Default Is this worth it???.....

Opportunity has arisen for me to buy an immaculate, and i mean immaculate Midwest CAP 232 with decent (??) Hitec servos, all setup minus engine and Rx.

It has the flat tail group.

...Already tried searching but nothing really answers my question!!

Anyway, it's all ready to fit a Zenoah 45. Anyone know how this combo would perform?? ZG45 turns 22x10 @ 7200RPM, but weighs the best part of 4 2/3 lbs.

There are four servos mounted at the rear of the fuz, and apparently with a lighter engine it will definately need weight up front. The best power/weight ratio engine i've found is the Mackay 45, at 3.6lbs, and 22x10 Menz @ 7400. Is this sort of power sufficient for hovering? Thanks!!!!
